My guess is it is for console. PC release is delayed by a few months. In any case, 1-2 years of developement time isn't much. I don't expect the series to turn around. I expect it to be another "pretty" crappy game. Hey, at least that way I won't be disappointed.

AC1 was originally slated for release right along side the 360 and PS3 version. Due to some reason im not aware of, they held it back.

I believe they were working on AC2 at the same time AC1 was in development. Possibly 6 months to a year after AC1 was in development anyway.

Supposed to be out within the first fiscal year of 2009 for Ubi I believe.

At the very end of the video, you can see written backwards "more something 04/16/2009." Wonder if that means another trailer?

Pretty pointless Teaser if thats what ya want to call it..

I liked the 1st although game play needed a lot of work as it was pretty much same thing over which made me think i was playing on a xbox and is the reason i don't play on or a like... Graphics still look good today so i hope they do not spend to much time in that area of the game and do a kick ass story with more in depth plots and quests this time .

Yeah it was shitty. CoD6's was too but at least that one had more detail than this one.

It's a trilogy. Buddy of mine thinks they are going to release the third and final game on December 12, 2012. Which is one of the dates that are shown at the end of the first game and when the world is supposedly "coming to an end."

Didn't like that teaser. Lets just hope they get it right this time. I had the first AC for PS3 and it got so boring so fast and i ended up selling it. I hope this one they rethink what they want to do with the formula.

Ok. So im looking at the latest Game Informer that mentions Assassin's Creed 2. And man the screenshots look freaking amazing. What grabbed my attention and what inspired this post is this:

After completing Assassin's Creed, months were spent gathering information from game critics, and, more importantly, the wider fan community. The team wanted to know what worked and what didnt in order to make informed choices. The result is a game that is being shaped to respond to voiced concerns, but without abandoning the core experience that made Assassin's Creed the fastest selling new game property in history. The number one agreed upon change? More variety.
The first Assassin's Creed had a game play loop that was easy to grasp. Pick up a mission at the Assassin's bureau, investigate the target, report to the bureau, kill the target, and escape back to the bureau. It was an elegant and simple design that had the unfortunate side effect of becoming increasingly repetitive as the game progressed. For some players, it was enough to turn them away. Assassin's Creed II completely abandons that structure. "We thought, lets forget entirely about that idea of having a really strict mission design concept," Desilets tells us. "There's no preset structure."

The article is a bit longer but i dont feel like typing it all.

What I have gotten out of this article already is it takes place in 1476 Italy. There are a variety of weapons that you can use. You can even disarm guards and use their weapons against them. However, you know how two wrist blades that Leonardo Da Vinci crafts for you. Da Vinci is to Ezio as Q is to Bond. It seems that Ubisoft wants you to rely more on your wrist blades than anything else. Which is fine by me. You can now even swim in the game.

This game looks very promising and if you havent picked up the new Game Informer and you like the AC game, I strongly suggest you pick up a copy.
